Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster


Exterior And Interior


Like with the coupe version, the roadster version will feature a long bonnet, large wheels, and a short rear end. Both coupe and roadster versions are also built on an aluminum spaceframe, but due to the omission of a fixed roof and gullwing doors for the roadster, it was necessary to design the side sills more robustly.

The new Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster will be offered with a three-layered fabric soft top which is deposited behind the seats in a Z-formation to save space. The sports car offers a low center of gravity and is designed for speeds up to 196 mph.


Engine

Under the hood, the Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster will feature the same engine as the coupe: a 6.3-liter V8 engine located front-mid that will develop 571 hp and up to 479 lb-ft. of torque. The engine will be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Mercedes has also announced that the roadster will be capable of a top speed that is just one mph lower than the coupe: 196 mph. (352 Kmph)


Prices And Competition

The new Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster will be put on sale after its official debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Prices will start from about $200,000. The 2012 SLS AMG Roadster will make its U.S. debut in Fall 2011.In Europe the car is priced from € 195,160, or about $278,000 at the current exchange rates.

The Competition for the SLS Roadster is the 458 Italia Spyder which has a top speed of 200 Mph (320 Kmph)  but it has a much higher price tag so 458 Italia Spyder Is out. But the Mclaren Mp4-12c has a top speed of about 205 Mph ( 328 Kmph)
but we do not know the price but it is said that the Mclaren will cost less than the SLS if that is so. The
